Boy's Heroic Act Almost Costs His Life
Janes Andress sixteen of 145 East Bridge Street near Ly cost his life while skating with Robert Adams thirteen of East River and Quincy streets on the hickory just north of Broad Street Bridge. An unidentified boy asked which arch was safest to skate through the center arch. Ice cracked and Andress plunged under but clung to edge. Jim Adams started to rescue but ice cracked again and he went in head first. Robert Adams fetched help as Andress and Jim fought to stay afloat. Albert Andress rushed up with clothes line to aid, while rescuers from the opposite river freed the other boy. The tale ends with the longest minutes in cold water.
